The quality of this album is such that it would be great if this was the album that brought him to the attention of a wider audience. He doesn’t need to compromise what he’s doing – and whatever the general music-listening populace are doing, those of us listening are glad to have him.

What sets Ty Segall apart from Slaughterhouse – and most of his albums – is the well-measured balance between the heavy Ty and the more melodious Ty. He moves back and forth throughout, but easily maintains unison under his idiosyncratic character; and the album is crafted to ebb and flow.

While the wide-eyed, erratic glory of Emotional Mugger remains a considerably more compelling voyage into the more demented depths of his sonic escapism, Ty Segall presents a case for the benefits of easing off the gas to fully take in the road ahead.

As much as Ty Segall is an album of potential singles material, it’s one of the most cohesive sets of music that Segall has released to date. On second thought, maybe his greatest strength isn’t his volume of output, but rather that he never stops growing as an artist.

On one end this is everything a fan of the genre would want in a garage rock record; distorted guitars, heavy drums, and a vocalist with all the proto-punk requirements. On the other hand, this isn’t the record that is going to convert any on the fence listeners.

For those who dig hook-layered sweet ‘n’ edgy ragged guitar lines up front and centre in the mix of some well crafted melodic power pop Ty Segall salutes you. Channelling big phat chunky vintage Crazy Horse grooves in the opening track, appropriately titled “Break A Guitar”, through and through Ty Seagall’s 2nd self titled release in nine years is all about the guitars, the guitars and the songs, the songs and the guitars.

Well, dear listener, the jaw-droppingly prolific garage rock wünderkid that is Ty Seagull Segall has done it again. Returning with his ninth solo studio album and follow-up to 2016's Emotional Mugger, Segall -- who slowly is beginning to look more similar to Kurt Cobain -- satisfies listeners with a modest collection of crunchy, densely-packed, guitar-driven jams such as "Break A Guitar," "Orange Color Queen," and "Papers," complemented by the sprawling, ... read more
